ngnfjjr he’s so energetic snd flirtatious and confident when he needs to be it’s this energy that i like had a lotta fun seeing them explore their feelings for eachother- the pining is so powerful
;0; they’re such fun characters the lot of em and the art has such pretty expressions- im so infatuated by this art style wuaua and im glad they are so smitten towards eachother and pretty much all the other characters are pretty fun it’s really wholesome :,] (there is that really protective older bro trope fyi but it’s nothing, really)
biggest warning: there is rape
but kanade does end up punishing him and addressing it later so it isnt really brushed under the rug? At least he does feel extremely guilty bout it. just a heads up since it is a bit much
OKAY HEADS UP- romanticized stalking? the main character at the beginning of the story has become dependent on the guy who sneaks into his house, does his chores, cooks his meals, and- has sex with him him while he’s asleep. that opening chapter gave me whiplash because personally, i’d be terrified but he just let it happen with a smile
no one is so silly? (the mc reminds me of a dog) but god GAH the artist in me- the EXPRESSIONS- damn im conflicted- (plus the chara dynamics are
WAHH ABEL/APEL THERE ARE ONLY 16 TRANSLATED CHAPTERS SO FAR BUT ID FIGHT FOR YOUR SMILE I— HELP PLEASE SOBS I GOT A LIL SPOILED FROM THE COMMENTS (CRAB MY BAD) BUT THE HIM RIGHT NOW- YOU’RE SO WONDERFUL TO ME
i worried so much on my first read cause i kept saying”THIS ISNT GONNA LAST… HE ISNT EVEN ON THE COVER :[[[ PLEASE YOU BETTER STAY ALIVE AT LEAST” i wont spoil what got spoiled to me but…
on a technicality: yes
edit: ahhh ive caught up to the novel
I watched scream for the first time with friends recently and although that movie’s a completely different tone, I could imagine this being a horror comedy movie of some sort
(while rereading this story again, I realized how it kinda reminded me of creepypastas. Unfortunately, in the back of my mind I thought of “I Eat Pasta For Breakfast” (but without it getting so weird relationship wise). Idk why but it felt like that but with better writing and say gex )
THE- GH- this addition was purely because of the expressive art + their desperation holy crow- and chapter 2 yeah chapter 2 and 3.
bit dubious at the beginning with ignoring some hard stops. Koga’s very unyielding at first but fast character development turns him into a sweetheart at least promise
(& theres a student x teacher side story but it’s completely separate/an add on so skipped skipped closed my eyes there’s a bonus chapter at the very end w/ the main couple they’re silly)

love the list! i need to put you on “kill me if you can” ! the expressions and silliness of plot i think is similar to a lot of the ones you have listed.
